python多个条件组合覆盖,Python：字典通过更新合并，但如果值存在则不覆盖

If I have 2 dicts as follows:

d1 = {('unit1','test1'):2,('unit1','test2'):4}

d2 = {('unit1','test1'):2,('unit1','test2'):''}

In order to 'merge' them:

z = dict(d1.items() + d2.items())

z = {('unit1','test1'):2,('unit1','test2'):''}

Works fine.

Additionally what to be done, if i would like to compare each value of two dictionaries and only update d2 into d1 if values in d1 are empty/None/''?

[EDIT]

Question: When updating d2 into d1, when the same key exists, I would like to only maintain the numerical value (either from d1 or d2) instead of empty value. If both values are empty, then no problems maintaining empty value. If both have values, then d1-value should stay. :) (lotsa if-else .. i'd try myself in the meantime)

i.e.

d1 = {('unit1','test1'):2,('unit1','test2'):8,('unit1','test3'):''}

d2 = {('unit1','test1'):2,('unit1','test2'):'',('unit1','test3'):''}

#compare & update codes

z = {('unit1','test1'):2,('unit1','test2'):8, ('unit1','test2'):''} # 8 not overwritten by empty.

please help to suggest.

Thanks.

Just switch the order:

z = dict(d2.items() + d1.items())

By the way, you may also be interested in the potentially faster update method.

[In response to the edit] If you want to special-case empty strings, you can do the following:

def mergeDictsOverwriteEmpty(d1, d2):

res = d2.copy()

for k,v in d2.items():

if k not in d1 or d1[k] == '':

res[k] = v

return res
